Building Higher-Order Thinking Skills with Ready-to-Use Technologies (Gr. K‑12) Presenter:Steve Leinwand
Strategies:
1. Adapt from what we know about reading (evaluate, infer, make connections)
2. Incorporate on-going cumulative review into instruction every day
3. Create a language rich classroom (vocabulary, terms, answers, explanation)-make use of a word wall
4. Draw pictures/create mental images/foster visualization
5. Embed math in context (what math do I need to teach, and when/where do we normally encounter this math?)
Quite often problems in math can be related to language
2014-2015 current state assessments will be over--everyone will be using two different types (CBET, PARK), most likely done on computer. 1/3 basic computation, 1/3 word problem, 1/3 _
Common core standards--very rarely use the word standard algorithm, which gives more freedom for how you teach addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
